| NOT MINE!! |
Hokay...I just spent two hours reconciling MY records to the BANK's records because I couldn't get the two to jive and so have lost precious pedalling time and likely gained a pound instead of losing one!! %7$k#fz*%2@!!
Big sigh....okay....calming down now...why oh why do I put myself through such torture three quarters of the way, more like four fifths, but who's splitting hairs here...oh yeah...ME!! of the way through a month instead of waiting til the end of the month when everything is credited and debited to the account and I have wee little numbers to work with...huh? If you just followed that line of thought then you must do exactly the same thing!!
So I just drove myself nuts for no perfectly good reason. I forgot that I had made a lot of fancy calculations (errors) but had already manipulated (corrected) them and thus could have saved myself...oh let's see...TWO HOURS AND ONE POUND if I had just waited until the end of the month.
Too hard on myself?? Not in the least - I hope I have taught myself a very good lesson - and that is - WAIT ALREADY!! But then, I have adult ADD, so there you go.
I'm off to pedal twice as far, twice as fast!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. It's a good thing I can type about 120 words a minute because that's how fast my fingers are going right now!!
So....is that really your bank statement? You had a lot of money pass through! :)!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on keeping up with the exercise! Hopefully I'll start sometime soon!
LOL I do bank recs as part of my job. For my own I use quicken and reconcile it every day or so.
ReplyDeleteHappy peddling :)
Gosh if that is really yours it looks a bit to complicated for me. Off now to use my Abacus........
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason I have very few transactions going through our account...and why I moved the payments dates on all our direct debits...I have issues lol!!
ReplyDeleteHow sad is it, if I completely understand what your going through? Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI keep personal stuff in Quicken and check accounts like an adult with ADD, fearing the stolen identity or miscalculation that sends me in a tails spin. The good thing about Quicken is I can clear a transaction, before I reconcile it. All month as payments and deposits clear online, I clear them on my software. I can see at a glance whats outstanding and if my balance is where it should be.
Hope you had a successful bike ride. Possibly you burned that pound with frustration and worry. :)
Howdy all - nope that photo isn't my bank reconciliation. I'd be embarrassed to show you mine! I do it on my computer and print it off then scribble all over it.
